THE ALPHAS' OBSESSION

THE TRIPLETS' CLAIM

The murmurs of the Crescent Moon Pack hung thick in the air as Sienna stood frozen under the crimson glow of the Triple Blood Moon. Her mind raced, her heart pounding so loudly she thought it would burst from her chest.The Blackthorn triplets were looking at her like she was the only thing that mattered in the world. Three of the most powerful alphas alive—her mates? It was unthinkable. Impossible.Sienna swallowed hard, her eyes darting between them. Damien, the tallest, with his sharp features and piercing emerald eyes, exuded raw dominance. Darius, with his golden-brown hair and a smirk that could melt ice, had an air of dangerous charm. And Dante, the quietest of the three, stood slightly apart, his dark eyes watching her with an intensity that made her shiver.“She doesn’t look like much,” someone muttered from the crowd, the cruel words slicing through the tension.“She’s an omega,” another voice chimed in, dripping with disdain.The murmurs turned to outright whispers of disbelief. How could an omega—a nobody—be fated to the Blackthorn triplets?Sienna felt her face burn with humiliation. She wanted to disappear, to run away and hide, but her legs refused to move.“Silence!” Damien’s voice boomed across the clearing, his tone laced with authority. The crowd immediately fell quiet, the weight of his dominance suffocating.Darius stepped forward, his smirk softening as he looked at Sienna. “Come here, little one,” he said, his voice low and coaxing.Sienna’s breath hitched. She didn’t trust herself to move, let alone speak. Her gaze flicked to Alpha Garrett, who stood at the edge of the clearing, his face unreadable.“Sienna.” This time, it was Dante who spoke. His voice was soft, but it carried an edge of command that made her knees weak.Reluctantly, she stepped forward, her bare feet brushing against the cool grass. The triplets watched her every move, their intense gazes making her feel exposed.As she stopped a few steps away, Damien closed the distance between them. He reached out, his large hand cupping her cheek with surprising gentleness. The contact sent a jolt of electricity through her, and she gasped softly.“It’s true,” he murmured, his emerald eyes searching hers. “You’re ours.”Sienna’s lips parted, but no words came out. How could this be happening? She wasn’t special. She wasn’t strong or powerful. She was just… Sienna.“No,” she finally managed to whisper, taking a step back. “This has to be a mistake.”Darius chuckled, his smirk returning. “The moon doesn’t make mistakes, sweetheart.”Dante crossed his arms, his dark eyes narrowing. “Why are you so afraid of us?”Sienna blinked up at him, her voice trembling. “Because… because I’m not like you. I’m not strong, or brave, or—”“You’re ours,” Damien interrupted firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. “That’s all that matters.”The crowd erupted again, their disbelief turning into anger.“This is ridiculous!” a pack warrior shouted.“She doesn’t deserve them!” another voice called out.Before Sienna could respond, Darius turned to face the crowd, his golden eyes blazing with fury. “If anyone here questions the will of the moon, speak now,” he challenged, his voice deadly.The pack fell silent, the weight of his dominance pressing down on them. No one dared to challenge him.“You’ll come with us,” Damien said, his attention back on Sienna. It wasn’t a request.Her eyes widened. “What? No! I can’t just leave. This is my home.”Dante stepped closer, his expression unreadable. “Your home is with us now.”Sienna shook her head, panic rising in her chest. “I don’t even know you! How can I be your mate? This doesn’t make any sense!”Damien’s jaw tightened, but it was Darius who spoke next, his tone softer. “We’ll give you time, little one. But make no mistake—you’re coming with us.”---The rest of the ceremony was a blur. Sienna barely remembered how she ended up back in the packhouse, sitting on the edge of her small bed, her mind spinning.The triplets had given her until morning to pack her things. They had made it clear that she was theirs, whether she accepted it or not.She stared at her hands, her fingers trembling. How could her life have changed so drastically in one night?A soft knock at her door made her jump. Before she could respond, the door creaked open, and Alpha Garrett stepped inside.“Sienna,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “We need to talk.”She looked up at him, her eyes wide. “Alpha, I don’t understand any of this. Why me? Why now?”Garrett sighed, his expression softening. “The moon’s choice is not something we can question. The Blackthorn triplets are powerful alphas, and they’ve been searching for their mate for years. They’re not going to let you go.”“But I’m just an omega,” she whispered. “I’m nothing special.”Garrett knelt in front of her, his piercing blue eyes meeting hers. “You’re more special than you realize, Sienna. You may not see it now, but the moon chose you for a reason. You have a strength inside you that even you don’t understand.”His words did little to comfort her. She felt like a lamb being led to slaughter.---The first rays of dawn broke through the trees as Sienna stood outside the packhouse, a small bag slung over her shoulder. The triplets were waiting for her, their imposing figures making her feel small and insignificant.“We’ll take good care of you,” Darius said, his tone surprisingly gentle as he reached for her bag.Damien stepped closer, his emerald eyes softening. “You have nothing to fear, Sienna. You’re ours now.”Dante said nothing, but his gaze spoke volumes. There was a quiet intensity in his eyes, a promise that she didn’t fully understand.As they led her away from the only home she had ever known, Sienna couldn’t shake the feeling that her life was about to change in ways she couldn’t even begin to imagine.But whether it was for better or worse, only time would tell.
